The User wishing to purchase online via the Website hereby formally declares that they have full legal capacity. However, a person who has been declared incapable under Article 1123 and following of the Belgian Civil Code, although not allowed to buy on the website and therefore become a Buyer, can be a website User.

In any event, when giving personal detail information, the legal representative will have to fill in the sign in form themselves or explicitly authorise the person they represent to fill in the file. Of course the terms on personal data in the ensuing Article 7 are applicable.

The order’s fulfilment is subject to a possible refusal from Dandoy Sports. An order placement will be denied if there is a pricing error, if the prior order has not been paid or if Dandoy Sports judges that packages are lost or returned to frequently by the Buyer.

In accordance with the Belgian law of 9 July 2001 on the legal framework for electronic signatures and certification services, reminding that order validation as stated in article 3.3 hereunder constitutes an electronic signature and therefore has, between both Parties, the same value as a handwritten signature and serves as proof for the completeness of the order and for the owed amount in exchange for the execution of said order.

Finally, the User can save or print these general terms and conditions, as long as the User does not change them.

5.1. On the Effects of Withdrawal

In case of withdrawal of the User, said order will be fully reimbursed, except for the shipping fees.

The User will however have to pay the direct costs for sending back the articles if they don’t live in Belgium. A Customer living in Belgium can ask Dandoy Sports services for a return label that will allow them to send the order back. This return label is only valid once per order.

In case the withdrawal concerns only part of the order, Dandoy Sports will reimburse the Buyer all the payments received concerning said article(s), except for the shipping costs.

Dandoy Sports proceeds to the reimbursement using the same payment method as the one used by the Buyer for the first transaction, unless the Buyer specifically arranged for a different method; in any case, the reimbursement will not cause for any costs for the Buyer.

Dandoy Sports can withhold the reimbursement until they receive the article(s) back or until the Buyer proves that said article(s) were shipped, the date kept will be of the first day of those facts.

The Buyer shall send the article(s) in their original packaging, without undue delay and, in any case, within a maximum of 14 days after communicating to Dandoy Sports their decision to withdraw part of the order or the entire order. It shall be considered that the delay was met if the User sends their article(s) within the 14 days delay. The User shall ask for an evidence to show the products were shipped (label with a number) in one Point Poste and keep it safe.

The Buyer is supposed to handle and inspect the product(s) with all due caution during the withdrawal period, like they would have been handled in a shop. Shall the Products be depreciated due to a handling that was not necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning, the responsibility would fall on the Buyer.

Dandoy Sports holds therefore the rights to ask for damages compensations in case the articles returned are damaged, dirtied or worn; if the articles are not in their original packaging, not complete or if the instructions file or some pieces or accessories are missing; or if the articles were damaged due to negligence, abusive use or repaired by a third party or the User themselves.
